Rolling a six every time you change your processes

Did you know?

About 70% of all change projects fail to achieve their stated objectives or benefits….that’s about the same chance of succeeding as rolling one six with two dice.

A word from our sponsor

Why do projects fail to deliver????

• Lack of sustained management commitment

• Unrealistic scope and expectations

• Resistance to change• Lack of involvement with

the change process• Poor adoption• Unclear / changed

objectives• Inadequate consultation• And on….and on…..

So what do we need to think about?

Benchmark at the next level of detail…..

It’s a bit like…..a Rubik’s cube

If you change one thing, you need to consider the implications on the others to get all the blocks of one colour aligned (or more closely aligned).

A word from our other sponsor

“the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results” (Ben Franklin)

…. so to get different results, we need to do things differently, i.e. change the process….

©

What is a process?

A process is the chain of activities that deliver your products and services. …essentially it’s the route map of how you’re going to get to your destination

Why focus on Process?

It's worth spending time on finding the quickest way to get there to avoid bottlenecks, break downs and to access the latest routes and continually assess whether you need a new route to get there more quickly and easily. ©

What else could I do?

You could, for example, buy a faster car (new system) or employ a racing driver (people / skills), but often the best way to reduce your cost of travel, get there faster and keep your passengers happy is to plan and adapt your route (the process).

So…benchmark each of the 9 levers…To see which areas you need

to focus on to ensure that you deliver AND EMBED the changes to your processes:• Level 1 (Initial) - getting

started/awareness• Level 2 (Repeatable) -

developing/focusing/knowledge

• Level 3 (Defined) - complying/practising/competence

• Level 4 (Managed) - sustaining/exploiting/excellence

• Level 5 (Optimised) - advocating/transforming©

….and move up the Performance & Service Maturity ladder….

So why should I bother?

Remember the stats? 70% of projects fail to deliver as expected…..so load the dice in your favour by benchmarking your process maturity and throw a six every time!
